Now this is valuable info to put in the Wiki :-)

Which leads of course to the next question ( the fool can always ask  
more then the wise man can answer):

While I can see where Create uses the extensions for (SETTING the  
extensions on the needed files) this is not completely clear for Open

Since I pass  the filename (folderitem) of the descriptorfile 
(normally ".vdb") to the Open function AND the header of this file  
describes the tree other extensions needed (data,blob,ind) why would  
Open still need to look at the settings of the globals in the engine ?


Thanks

Bart
